Are non-slip socks really 'non-slip'? An analysis of slip resistance
BACKGROUND Non-slip socks have been suggested as a means of preventing accidental falls due to slips. This study compared the relative slip resistance of commercially available non-slip socks with other foot conditions, namely bare feet, compression stockings and conventional socks, in order to determine any traction benefit. METHODS Phase one involved slip resistance testing of two commercia...
متن کامل"Walking-mode maps" based on slip/non-slip criteria.
"Walking-Mode Maps", based on Slip/Non-Slip criteria, are proposed. Slip/Non-Slip criteria are expressed as follows: for a slip to occur: |F(h)/F(n)|(h) > or = mu(s) or |F(h)/F(n)|(t) > or = mu(s); for no slip to occur: |F(h)/F(n)|(h) < mu(s) or |F(h)/F(n)|(t) < mu(s). |F(h)/F(n)|(h) and |F(h)/F(n)|(t) are the maximum peak value of the traction coefficient at heel-strike and toe-off respectivel...
متن کاملSlip flow of an optically thin radiating non-Gray couple stress fluid past a stretching sheet
This paper addresses the combined effects of couple stresses, thermal radiation, viscous dissipation and slip condition on a free convective flow of a couple stress fluid induced by a vertical stretching sheet. The Cogley- Vincenti-Gilles equilibrium model is employed to include the effects of thermal radiation in the study. The governing boundary layer equations are transformed into a system o...
متن کاملSlip flow in non-circular microchannels
Microscale fluid dynamics has received intensive interest due to the emergence of MicroElectro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) technology. When the mean free path of the gas is comparable to the channel’s characteristic dimension, the continuum assumption is no longer valid and a velocity slip may occur at the duct walls. Non-circular cross sections are common channel shapes that can be produced by m...
متن کاملNon-darcy Porous Media Flow in No-slip and Slip Regimes
In this paper lattice-Boltzmann equation method is used to simulate non-Darcy flow in porous media. 2-D in-line and staggered arrangements of uniform cylinders have been considered. The results of a comprehensive computational evaluation are reported: the range of validity of Darcy-Forchheimer equation is investigated and correlations for macroscopic transport properties are presented (i. e., f...
